|
Brookline Village Library
|
|
SATURDAY, April 29 at 2 PM
|
Pamela Means presents The Power of the Protest Song: Our Shared History & Present Day. Part-performance and mini-presentation, this event will explore the origin stories and lineages of protest songs, how their meanings and effects continue to transform through time and space, and how they have inspired – and continue to inspire – movements and cultural shifts within the realms of racial and social justice.
|
|
This event is geared towards adults, teens, and tweens. Free and open to the public; no registration required. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Brookline Commission for the Arts, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Contraluz by Kevin Harris & Fabio Rojas
|
|
|
|
SUNDAY, May 7 at 2:30 PM
|
Join us for a live jazz concert at the Coolidge Corner Library! Contraluz is a highly interactive compilation of an original repertoire featuring the dynamic and innovating artistic talents of Kevin Harris and Fabio Rojas. It seeks to interpret a message of curiosity, persistence, courage, and exploration.
|
Contraluz, Spanish for "backlight," is an invitation to hold one’s own truths and beliefs up to a backlight, to examine the new perspectives offered from a vantage point. An invitation to imaginatively shift one’s views to see an alternative picture, reality, or truth. In the same way that new viewpoints warrant unfolding possibilities, Harris and Rojas see this compelling project as a continuously unfolding modern symphony.

This event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Brookline Public Library.

What’s Wrong With My Houseplant?
|
|
THURSDAY, May 4 at 2 PM
|
Just like outdoor gardening, growing houseplants doesn’t always go as planned. Join us online and learn the factors that make for happy houseplants, including light, water, and soil… and how to provide them. We’ll discuss common houseplant pests and diseases, as well as how to treat them. This program is led by Bonnie Power, a Massachusetts Master Gardener since 2016 and a serious outdoor/indoor gardener most of her life.
|
|
This program is in partnership with the Tewksbury Public Library. This event is generously sponsored by the Library Trustees.
